DIGEST 1. Agency's substitution of an experience reference submitted in the awardee's final proposal revision (FPR) with a prior reference provided by the awardee from a previous round of discussions, violated the terms of the solicitation and constituted an improper revision of the awardee's final proposal. 2. Agency's evaluation of awardee's affiliates' contracts under the experience evaluation factor is improper where the terms of the solicitation provided that only two teaming members' contracts would be considered. DECISION ANHAM FZCO, of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, protests the award of a contract to KGL Food Services WLL (KGLFS), of Shuwaikh, Kuwait, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPE300-15-R-0042, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, (DLA) Troop Support, for the supply and distribution of food products to locations throughout the Middle East. ANHAM raises various challenges to the agency's conduct of the procurement and evaluation of the proposals. We sustain the protest in part and deny the protest in part.
